SCA: security update for oauthenticator (GHSA-gprj-3p75-f996)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415240

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- OAuthenticator is software that allows OAuth2 identity providers to be plugged in and used with
JupyterHub. JupyterHub < 5.0, when used with `GlobusOAuthenticator`, could be configured to allow all
users from a particular institution only. This worked fine prior to JupyterHub 5.0, because `allow_all`
did not take precedence over `identity_provider`. Since JupyterHub 5.0, `allow_all` does take precedence
over `identity_provider`. On a hub with the same config, now all users will be allowed to login,
regardless of `identity_provider`. `identity_provider` will basically be ignored. This is a documented
change in JupyterHub 5.0, but is likely to catch many users by surprise. OAuthenticator 16.3.1 fixes the
issue with JupyterHub 5.0, and does not affect previous versions. As a workaround, do not upgrade to
JupyterHub 5.0 when using `GlobusOAuthenticator` in the prior configuration. (CVE-2024-37300)
